Car/race themed music...
I was going to use a car themed song on my video's until I found out as of 1/1/23, the time for a song becoming "public domain" went from 50 years to 100 years!! Likely because all the great songs are from the 60's and 70's!
So I'm starting a post for fun, with links to driving, racing and car songs/videos.... please feel free to add your favorite! I was going to use "Fuel" since I'm a metal head, but here's one my wife told me about... I'm not generally a Queen fan, but this one I can't get outta my head now....
"… Told my girl I'd have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So, she made tracks, saying
"This is the end now"
"Cars don't talk back"
"They're just four-wheeled friends, now""
"I'm in Love With My Car"... ;)

Also a metalhead, so these are the ones that came to my mind...
Helloween - Steel Tormentor

White Zombie - Black Sunshine
Probably my favorite car themed songs:
The first song that comes to mind for me is, "Jerry was a Race Car Driver" by Primus.
- YES! My buddy plays bass in a 90's cover band and only sings one song. This is it. Plus, Les is an effing genius. Got to meet him once. — FeralPatrick
Glad to see I'm not the only metalhead here. Great picks, one and all (especially the Fu Manchu, love that band).
Wild stuff bro's, more car themes songs than I thought

we would drop in this in the tape player as we rolled in to the track with the dirt car
traditions!
I find this very apropos for modifying cars
- I love Cash, this is a classic — G_ForceRacing
- Love That song! Hear it every one in a while on the Country station. — Bent_Rod_Racing
My favorite car song since I was a teenager...
Working in the high end car biz, I've played this song while driving many genuine classic and exotic cars over the years.
ok here's the song thats over 50 years old, wanted to use a cut from it before I found out about the public domain law change....
Nice one, G_ForceRacing! The driving beat is undeniable but the lyrics are almost comical. Very obviously written by someone who knew more about drugs than they knew about cars (Iol).
A few more, old school cuz I'm old haha!
